Three years after Ozora Bank was nationalised, there are still no signs of a turnaround. Nozaki Shuhei, who previously exposed the bank’s illegal dealings as an internal auditor, becomes its president in an unconventional promotion.

Announcing that he will avenge his father, he plots with Shoko to oust Nozaki and take back the position his father had built up. Will Nozaki be able to stay true to his own sense of justice and revive the bank? His battle begins again … …
